Bill Summary

To increase the Commonwealth's compliance with federal law meeting requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 61 of Chapter 7 of the General Laws to enhance the Commonwealth's adherence to federal laws, specifically the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which aims to prohibit discrimination based on disability. The key provision mandates that the State Division of Oversight (SDO), in collaboration with the Massachusetts Office on Disability, will establish bi-annual goals for the involvement of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of state procurement contracting. These participation goals can be achieved by contracting with businesses that employ, or actively seek to employ, qualified individuals with disabilities, and the SDO will offer support to executive offices in identifying such contracting opportunities, including for multi-year contracts or grants. Furthermore, the SDO is required to submit an annual report by October 31st to the clerks of the House and Senate detailing the progress made in meeting these participation goals.
